Canadian OfSicers INDIGNANT

Ottawa, Ont. dispatch TO the New York Herald.
The military authorities here are very indignant
over the report cabled from England to the effect
that the war Office at London had stated 'the
Canadian government were to reorganiZe the
militia force, which is now without organization
and discipline" When asked If there was any
truth In the statement Adjutant General Powell
said there was not a word OF truth in 1t. The
militia organization or the Dominion was never in
templated or necessary. In his opinion the report
from England emanated from captain OF the
British army, who for months last spring Was
hanging about here, endeayOring to persuade the
Dominion government TO adopt weapon OF war
fare he was interested in. He was not successful,
caused him 10 run down the military organization
OF Canada as inefficient and demOralized.

COMMISSIONER WEBB SAYS ABOUT THE NATTER
BE THINKS CONGRESS SHOULD COMBINE THE WORE
TO THE DISTRICT.
The payment Of the bill presented by the Phila-
delphia firm OF printers, Messrs. Dunlap Clark,
for publishing the annual tax-sale list, has been
stopped at the Treasury on account OF the errors
made In the list. Some OF these errors, as stated
In The STAR, have caused considerable embarrass-
ment In the report on the matter made by Col
lector Cook and published In The STAR, an expla.
nation was made for the printers on the ground
that their distance from the city rendered the
supervision OF the work, as 1t progressed, by the
Collectors once impossible. District oficfals to
whom STAR reporter talked have complained of
the delay In work that has been due to the fact
OF the distance Of the printing office from the
District buidugs-14O miles. At the time the
contract was let TO the Philadelphia firm protest
was made not only by employing printers, but by
the Typographical Union OF Washington.
CoMxIss IoNER wEBB's VIEWS.
Commissioner Webb, in speaking to STAR re-
porter to-day, said the Commissioners could not
well see their way out Of giving the contract to the
Philadelphia firm, who not only were the lowest
bidders, and responsible, but who agreed to pay
Davis, however, had given an opinion that the
commissioners could annul the contract. He
Thought II might be done on the ground OF conve-
nlence MI. webb did not understand why IL was
that the Philadelphia firm could bid much lower
Than Washington printers, and at the same time

n1ence required that 1t should be done here. II a

THE DISTRICT GOVERNMENT SUBSTITUTING HARD COAL
FOR USE IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
The District Commissioners have arranged to
have all the new school buildings heated by fur
naces That burn hard coal. This is done because
OF complaints that have been frequently made
about the use OF soft coal in the school buildings
Inc commissioners, at the same time, contemplate
gradual change in the character OF the heating
arrangements OF the Old school buildings so as to
adapt them to the use OF hard coal. This will re-
quire change In the CRATES and Innings OF the
furnaces. The black smoke and SCOT from the soft
coal, II Is claimed. causes nuisance in the neigh
porhoOd OF a school building, besides doing actual
damage to property. The acid deposits from the
coal Also Col. Ludlow says, damage the gutter
1ngS and other metallic work school buildings.
Col. Ludlow thinks that the OF soft coal ought
not TO be permitted in city like Washington.
When asked whether the Commissioners could
stop the use OF soft coal by private persons Col.
Ludlow said that that was a matter that had not
been considered He thought the Commissioners
could not with very good grace attempt any such
thing when the District itself was the chief
offender The District would have first TO clear
its own record

Robbery and Attempted Arson.

BURGLARS ENTER A HOUSE, AND, AFTER SECURING A
SMALL AMOUNT OF BOOTY, TRY TO FIRE THE BUILD
ING.
at an early hour this morning burglars entered
the house OF Mr.. William Reagan, No. 1929 Sd
street southwest, and carried off 1915 in cash.
The house was entered by means OF false key,
the entrance being made at the rear door. From
the back room the burglar, or burglars, went into
the store in the front room and stole the money
from the drawer After taking the money, and
probably Few other articles, a bold attempt was
made To fire the house by touching match 10 a
can containing % gallons or coal OIL. The
smell from the burning oil awakened Mr.. Reagan.
IL was between and } O'Clock when he went
down Stairs and found the OIL burning. The can
OF Oil sat directly under the bed In which Mr.. and
Mrs. Reagan were sleeping, and the ceiling was
not protected with plaster. Had the Oil burned a
few minutes longer an explosion would no doubt
have occurred and the inmates OF the house
would have had some trouble to escape the flames.
Mr.. Reagan eXtlnguished the flames with q
blanket. To-day he notified the police OF what
had occurred but said he did not suspect any one.
The police are investigating the case
